What are they? Each book contains the printed music and free online access to the accompanying audio for 9 titles often used in beginning recorder methods (the same ones used in Recorder Karate and in the original Recorder Bytes series). The books are crafted to be used as individual "bring it home" student workbooks. Students practice and learn each segment. Next, they combine the segments to complete the full piece, all while getting rewarded with gold star stickers along the way.

Stickers are motivating! - The books come with sheets of gold star stickers. Students have the potential to earn 72 stickers with Book 2. Students self-assess their progress, earning stickers with each completed segment, then the full piece. Each piece concludes with a signature line. The final sticker is earned when the teacher or parent signs off/certifies.

High quality audio - Also included is free online access to our Recorder Bytes audio web player. Listen and play along from any device – phone, tablet, or computer.
